#3 Chicago is where the current administration learned economics.
Rahm can't fill potholes, Chicago is the murder capitol of the nation, Chicago is at least 2000 police officers understrength, Chicago has a majority 'dependant' population which devastates any budget planning, and is so corrupt it makes Monrovia look like good government.

Where were the 7 million who didn't show up?
